Remember that story a few months back in the Wall Street Journal, about the hedge fund “idea dinner” that insinuated a bunch of managers got together to break bread while plotting to take down the Euro? David Einhorn and the Greenlight team do! They’ve been discussing it amongst themselves for a while, and today it made their latest quarterly letter. What’d they think of the piece? Well, reporting the actual facts instead of pulling them out of the reporter’s ass would’ve improved things slightly. Apparently the Journal got a whole bunch of stuff wrong and now the responsible parties are going to pay. Sorry, kids. Sometimes the nicest hedge fund manager in the world just has to cut a bitch. Sayeth DE and Co:
how do you like me NOW Susan Pulliam??
-DE
it’s on like donkey kong
They’re the ones who keep the Martians down.
He didn’t talk about gold or inflation because he spent his time detailing the multiple benefits of a semi bluff from early position with a gut shot on the table and unsuited connectors in your hand….all I could think about was how freaking bad I wanted a double down.

this made me chuckle
@5 the best part is the segue from ripping the WSJ a new asshole to ‘yay for babies and iPads!’
“…..Well, reporting the actual facts instead of pulling them out of the reporter’s ass would’ve improved things slightly…..”
Genius!

I liked the baby segue also. Though it did seem a bit boastful.
Yeah I, and all my homies, can afford to buy my baby a $600 toy that will surely insta-break. Bet you can’t do that WSJ journalists.
this WSJ article smells like a Kouwe piece
I love David Einhorn.
Who says you need billions of dollars to corner the market in euros?
I did it yesterday after staying in a holiday inn express
@11 comedy gold.
Bess, keep up the good PR work. Maybe Einhorn will hire you one day. And why not? The receptionist at Greenlight probably makes more $ than you do.
